Notre Dame football star running back Jeremiyah Love returned home to St. Louis and threw out the first pitch at a Cardinals game.

The St. Louis Cardinals and San Diego Padres are trading unnecessary blows. After the benches cleared on Friday night between the two teams after Willson Contreras was hit by a pitch, Padres third baseman Manny Machado was hit twice in Saturday’s matchup causing yet another bench-clearing incident.

The St. Louis Cardinals are reportedly prepared to listen to trade offers involving All-Star utilityman Brendan Donovan.

Heavy Sports caught up with Alex Birge to discuss his MLB Draft experience and his first few days in the Cardinals organization.

Major League Baseball’s annual trade deadline is just one week away, and the St. Louis Cardinals find themselves in a familiar, yet complicated, crossroads.

Helsley has been rumored as a trade target since the offseason, and a trade for him still seems realistic. As we know, Donovan made his first All-Star Game in 2025, is hitting nearly .300 and can play multiple defensive positions. That's a valuable player, and the Cardinals are treating him as one.

The latest report suggests that the Cardinals are open to listening to offers when it comes to Nolan Arenado and Sonny Gray.

The St. Louis Cardinals must balance long-term interests and near-term contention leading up to the July 31 trade deadline. That's a challenging needle to thread, but the current realities in St. Louis are such that they must do so.

Despite warnings issued to both teams earlier in the game, umpire Lance Barrett deemed Granillo did not intentionally throw at Machado.
